It’s looking like another December collapse

IRVING – The life has been sucked out of Texas Stadium on its final night.

The Ravens just drove 37 yards in seven plays for a 13-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to Derrick Mason to take a 16-7 lead with 2:51 left.

A 23-yard punt return by Jim Leonard set up the drive, which included a 9-yard run by holder Sam Koch – the punter – on a fake field goal. It was fourth-and-6 at the 22 when the Rvens lined up for a 40-yard field goal only to have Koch run off left tackle for the first down.

Two plays later, Flacco found Mason alone in the end zone for the TD.

The Cowboys had a chance to end the drive early, but Ken Hamlin failed to recover a Le’Ron McClain fumble.
